"Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters… so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God… Our soul is exceedingly filled… with the contempt of the proud" (Psalm 123:2,4). "Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counselors of peace is joy" (Proverbs 12:20). "I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD… to declare… to Israel his sin" (Micah 3:8). "John answered… He will…gather the wheat into His garner; but the chaff He will burn with fire unquenchable" (Luke 3:16,17).
Amid contempt on
every side
We are content
to lift our eyes
Above the
scorning and the pride
Of those professing
they are wise.
Deceit is in the
heart of those
Who follow their
imagination,
Who spurn the
truth that they oppose,
And thus refuse
the Lord's salvation.
The Lord has
given us His Spirit
To give us power
to declare
His truth to
ears that yet will hear it,
So sinners wisely
may beware.
We are content
amid contempt,
For You have
saved us, Lord, by grace
And made us from
Your wrath exempt
When You became
our Hiding Place.
